    Cat 305CR stalled under load

    Nice job. I replaced that coupler in my 305 last year when I rebuilt the motor. Machine had 1500 hrs on it. Original coupler had stress cracks in it. Dealer said they use to be close to 400 dollars but now they are around 100. That was a nice price reduction.

    Replaced the lock out solinoid last night. Still no hydraulics. Athe the bottom of the manifold there are two letters T and P. I may have reversed those two hoses when I fixed a hydraulic leak while motor was being rebuilt. Is it possible this is why I have no hydraulic functions? Not sure...
